about me
Who the hell is GoatWeed? I've been a writer/producer, visual effects artist, published author, technical writer, corporate trainer and general cube-monkey. Some of this may be part of my future, but for now I find myself burnt-out and drained from it all. Making daily trips back to the creative well to restore physical & mental health. Vehicles to such: digital art, theatrics, costume design & construction, journeys, gay eros, gatherings, dance, freedom, emotional authenticity, staring Light, Shadow, Joy and Fear right in the eyes.

I am partnered with a man who fits me very well and we attempt daily to balance the Light and Shadow. We gladly welcome others when the vibe is right.

p.s. - I appreciate beautiful male bodies like everyone else, but I don't fill my profile with pix of guys who aren't me. Just my personal gripe. It's YOUR profile. I'd like to see and get to know YOU. It's dishonest to lure my attention with images of sexy guys, when none are images of you, get it? If you're gonna do it, at least put captions on them so I know who I'm looking at.

Divine Under My Feet (blog entry) Up this morning, not as planned

same time, same stagger
screech and teeter

Jesus, these are hard times and there is much shame in not being 'successful' and solvent. Yet people can't see, can't hear each other, sipping martinis and talkin' Super Bowl, while their own digs are on fire.

God, I'd just really want to be real. But these days real ain't nothing that anyone wants to ... read more

Early fog no Sun to see and
jolts the sound of the wailing child
three floors below, in the court,
led by her mother as always,
same time, same stagger
screech and teeter
as handicapped do
Hold and guide, body jerking,
the daily walk, the special-needs van
I stand three up, look down,
and watch the ritual, the play each day
The walk, the ramp, the harness
the squealing–– mysterious
yelps of random emotion

I'm webcasting my work area while fabricating. I'm not sure who's going to be interested in this, but it's up and running now. I'll keep it on during work hours, if you're interested in peeping into my day (and sometimes nights)

What the Critics Say

August 14, 2009
Whats a 'GoatWeed'?!
Well to me it's sumthin to put on a stick....

But the REASON to put him on a stick is because he's rad! In the past couple of months I've gotten to know GW on tribe, and have been honored to witness his sense of humor (dear god, hes FUNNY!) His honesty and spoken truth help restore my faith in the human spirits that have the strength to live outloud in a world that doesn't always know what to do with that.
Thank you for the things you show me. Thank you for the laughter. Thank you for bein you!
